Heat It Up...

...The weather? Yes please!!! More snow here today so I reckon it is a good excuse for staying indoors and getting crafty....my Mojo has come home!! Actually, I found it lurking under a pile of Christmas papers...thanks for everyone's lovely comments on my last post though...bless you all...and some made me LOL too :O)) Enough about Mojo...it is time to tell you about the new Gingersnap Creations challenge which starts today; sponsored by Serendipity Stamps means that there is some Blog Candy up for grabs too...and the challenge is... Embossing...**BTW, please pop by on Sunday, I am doing another tutorial for the Gingersnaps all about this** However...best laid plans and all that... I ended up using white embossing powder and some Adirondack pigment inks...and unfortunately, no matter how I try to take a pic of this card, it just doesn't want to look like it is in the real...click on the pic to make it bigger if you fancy a proper gander at it though :O))




Anyways, just very quickly...I embossed the image on white card, using clear Gloss Boss ink and white powder, heat setting and then using Cut & Dry foam to blend Juniper and Eggplant inks over the top. I repeated the same method for the sentiment *which actually says Magic Happens* and also for the flutterbys. I also added a square of Stampbord...inking and stamping and then scratching at it and then roughly UTEEing around the edges to make them blend in with the rest of the card.




Thanks for looking...oh and guess what???? It is 7 years ago today since I started crafting! All those years, where have they got to? I had a hoot yesterday, I found some cards I made when I first started crafting...oh dear...they were awful and I thought, at the time, that they were fab...it is good to see how much I have learned over the years, the inspirations I have met along the way...but, most importantly...the friends I have made because of this strange addiction...thank you :O))
